Ingredients

  • 1 x potatoes cooked, peeled, 3/4 inch diced
  • 1 each ginger fresh, 2x1x1 inch piece, peeled, coarsely chopped
  • 3 each garlic cloves
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon fennel seeds optional

Method

  • Blend the water and spices (except the fennel seeds) into a paste.
  • Heat some oil in a wok or large pan.
  • When hot, put in the fennel seeds, and then the paste.
  • Fry the paste for a few minutes (don't lean over the pan and inhale too deeply.)
  • Add the potatoes and fry until encrusted with the paste.
  • Potatoes can also be cooked in the basic hash-brown method, or boiled or steamed, or baked, or cooked with a bchamel sauce, or mashed, or whatever.
